I had to come home from London to Burton-on-Trent today and had bought Virgin advance tickets on the 1757 from Euston and connecting at Tamworth. In the event my business was finished much earlier than expected, and I decided not to wait until my booked train, but to get a London Midland only single to Tamworth then another single from Tamworth to Burton, travelling on the LM 1446 service ... extra cost, of course, but I was home much earlier.
My question is, given that my original ticket was VWC "& Connections", could I still have used the it for the Tamworth-Burton leg even though I had not taken the Virgin service I was booked on?
In the event I decided not to chance it, but I was a bit surprised to pay £6.30 for a single from Tamworth to Burton, having only paid £17.40 from Euston to Tamworth!
Many thanks.
